OK, it's up and running.
First impressions are not so favourable as either Safari or OmniWeb. Safari has an extra level of cookie security (refuse cookies originating from sites other than the one you're visiting). Camino also seems to have the same rendering problem with my chosen homepage (BBC news) that Safari did until its later beta versions - it can't properly handle the news ticker at the top of the screen. Whether this is the only problem or the first of a list I'll find as I surf about I don't yet know obviously!
I do like the way the browser sets its preferences window up to mimic the System Preferences window and I like the tray that pops out on the right containing history etc - something Apple have strangely chosen not to use in Safari.
OmniWeb, seeing as we mentioned it, I found great for features but hopelessly irritating for nag boxes. I installed it, forgot about it for weeks and when I came back for another look the nag screens wouldn't allow the browser to load at all. And even choosing to register went nowhere. I deleted it.
I'll keep a copy of Camino in my Applications folder and watch it develop but I'm sticking with Safari for the time being.
